The Kirk Jones-directed romantic comedy is set to begin shooting this summer ahead of a May 11, 2012 release. Decker, repped by Gersh and Marilyn Talent, is a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model who made her feature debut in this year’s Just Go WIth It. She also will appear in Universal’s Battleship. In the ensemble What To Expect, she will play the perky wife of a much older man who sails through her pregnancy with twins, much to the consternation of her friends.

I’m not sure I get it… why cast someone like Brooklyn (whose main draw at this point is her attractiveness, as she is obviously a work in progress from an acting perspective) for a role where she’ll be pregnant (with twins no less)?

Not sure if it was a conscious decision by Decker or her management, but it may be because this movie will introduce her to the female audience in a manner that isn’t in-your-face sexual. As you’ve already stated, she’s known mainly for her body and that won’t last forever, and if she wants a prolonged career in Hollywood, she needs women to like her.

wow she is such a natural beauty. she’s definitely going to be a star!

If you had any inkling of a connection to this industry you’d know this is a huge movie. Clearly she is more than just a hot face if she is being cast in tentpole after tentpole. There are thousands of beautiful woman out there but only Brooklyn keeps getting cast.
